Heroes of the East
There is nothing more terrifying than the ninja... except death!
Directed by Lau Kar-leung
Produced by Shaw Brothers
A high-energy martial arts comedy romp that uses cultural clash and escalating combat challenges as both spectacle and humor, grounded in a romantic subplot about cross-cultural misunderstanding.
When a series of martial misunderstandings spirals into an international incident, a Chinese martial arts student struggling to relate to his new Japanese wife is forced to take on seven of Japan's most powerful martial arts masters, each an expert in a different discipline, ranging from karate to samurai to ninjitsu.
